Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.

Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.

On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.

    i kinda see his nazism as a metaphor now… he’s saying he’s treated like a nazi so might as well say he’s a nazi.
    or, he’s so demonized then “fine, i’m a demon”.
    my take on it is: shitty artist + mentally ill.

    also, interesting that he’s a cuck, and super worried about being called gay… (check out his reaction to the fish sticks south park).
    you don’t have to be gay but, it definitely involves being sexually excited by other men…
    i’m thinking, lying to himself level of closet gay
